• Neospintharus

  Neospintharus is a genus of comb-footed spiders in the family Theridiidae, subfamily Argyrodinae. First described by Exline in 1950, it was synonymized with Argyrodes in 1962 but revalidated in 2004. Phylogenetic studies confirm it as sister group to Rhomphaea within monophyletic Argyrodinae. The genus comprises free-living species that are not kleptoparasitic, distinguishing them from other Argyrodinae genera.
